The 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara ranks 10 out of 20 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 74 published reviews and test drives of the Suzuki Grand Vitara, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. While the 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara can handle itself off-road and has standard navigation, reviewers still say that its powertrain and cabin aren’t perfect.

Test drivers don’t call the 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara a bad SUV. In fact, they like that it comes standard with navigation and are impressed with its off-road abilities. But they still have a lot to complain about. First, with both two- and four-wheel drive, the Vitara has poor fuel economy ratings for the class, even compared with compact SUVs with four- or all-wheel drive. Second, two-wheel drive models aren’t as refined on pavement or as powerful as models like the Toyota RAV4.

There are three styles available for the Suzuki Grand Vitara: Base, Premium and Limited. Even base and Premium models are pretty well equipped with features like automatic climate control, full power accessories, a removable Garmin navigation unit and side and side curtain airbags. The top-line Limited has luxurious upgrades like leather seating and heated front seats. Bluetooth is optional on all but the base Grand Vitara.

Every Suzuki Grand Vitara is powered by a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder that produces 166 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on base models, while all other versions get a four-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive is standard across the lineup, but Premium models can also be had with a four-wheel-drive system with a low-range transfer case. Limited models are offered with a four-mode 4WD system (4H, 4H Lock, 4L Lock and N) that allows the Grand Vitara to be flat-towed behind an RV without adding miles to the odometer.

As the baby in the WD TV lineup, the Mini is perhaps best connected to your SD bedroom TV, rather than to your HD living room set. Measuring just 21x91x91mm, it features all the basics with none of the frills. Crucially, it doesn’t have an HDMI output, and will output only DVD quality (576i) via the AV output, although it will upscale to 1080i via component.

In terms of design, the new Mini is a triumph. It’s not only more attractive but also more sensible than its larger sibling, thanks to its top and bottom sporting a matt textured finish rather than the scratch and fingerprint-loving glossiness found on original. The slim sides are still piano black to add a touch of glamour, and bring out the unobtrusive blue-backlit power and activity icons nicely. Build quality is also top notch, with strong plastics used throughout.

The playback is pretty good. Overall interface is very user-friendly. One thing that you will like about the WD TV Mini Player is its portability. So you can practically bring it anywhere, plug it into any TV with either USB port or the usual component and composite output and you’re good to go. It uses two AAA batteries so those who care about the environment can use rechargeable ones. It’s solid and comfortable, and though its buttons don’t feel particularly pleasant, they’re well laid out and clearly labelled making it easy to use.

Sadly, there is no HDMI output, so most suitable for use with SD TVs; also lacks some networking features. Also, it does not support playback of protected premium content such as movies or music from iTunes.

This motherboard supports AMD® AM3 multi-core processors with unique L3 cache and delivers better overclocking capabilities with less power consumption. It features dual-channel DDR3 memory support and accelerates data transfer rate up to 5200MT/s via HyperTransport™ 3.0 based system bus. This motherboard also supports AMD® CPUs in the new 45nm manufacturing process.

The ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 motherboard comes packages in an green colored box with a lot of details on it showing off the new technology and compatible hardware. The first thing you might notice is the Xtreme Design Logo and the Hybrid Logo. The Xtreme Design stands for the board being designed with performance, safety, and reliability as the number one priorities. The Hybrid logo is because the M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 supports both the integrated graphics and discrete graphics cards with CrossFireX and with the right discrete card can also support Hybrid CrossFireX with the integrated video. Some of the other logos on the front show Windows 7 support, AMD CPU support, and the presence of the Memory OK button on the board. Flipping over to the back of the box we get a view of the board along with some more of the features which we will see more later in the review, including the Core Unlocker and Turbo Key II features.

The embedded Radeon HD 4290 on the Northbridge is HDMI 1.3 compliant, so it also supports higher bandwidth and greater color depth for future video standards. The onboard audio for the ASUS M4A89 GTD motherboard is provided by a Realtek ALC892 CODEC. This is a fully High Definition Audio 1.0 compliant CODEC that supports ten DAC channels that can split into 8 Channel Front Panel Audio simultaneous output.

When we flip the board 90 degrees counter clockwise we look at socket AM3, and also see quality Japanese capacitors and good Ferrite core chokes hidden under the massive passive cooler. There’s an 8-pin CPU fan header positioned really well. We like the 8-pin CPU [power header. When overclocking the processor we can easily draw much more current. So that little extra is certainly nice.
